2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · EO60 AEP

The 2010 Ford Mondeo recorded here demonstrates a stable MOT history with no defects or advisories across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 2 December 2025 at 66,614 miles. The absence of any failures or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently enough to meet basic roadworthiness standards, though the 2024 duplicate entry (a rare anomaly where the same mileage appears twice) warrants confirmation of whether this was a genuine retest or administrative error. The most recent test, just six months ago, aligns with the 12-month MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has not been driven since then. This is unusual for a car with its mileage and age, as even low-mileage vehicles typically undergo periodic use. The mileage progression reveals an unusually low average of 4,163 miles per year, which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests spans 15 months (from 8 October 2022 to 1 February 2024), during which the vehicle accumulated 14,690 miles—still a modest rate but suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity. The most recent 9,378 miles were covered in just over a year, a pace that, while not excessive, may indicate recent reactivation after storage. The lack of advisories or defects across these intervals implies that if the vehicle was stored, it was done so with minimal risk of fluid degradation or component deterioration. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on this model by 16 years and 66,614 miles. The absence of brake-related advisories in the MOT history does not rule out uneven wear or binding calipers, so a thorough check of brake discs, pads, and hydraulic system integrity is essential. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be scrutinised, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not recorded in the MOT history but can still pose functional risks. The duplicate 2024 entry should be clarified to ensure no critical issues were overlooked during that period.
